Exporting

Sending to Author Workbench is the main road. Exports are for everything else: a guide to hand to someone, a docs repo, a demo.

HTML

Export HTML in the editor saves one self-contained .html file: screenshots embedded, no external assets, opens from a file share or an email attachment. It has three views, switched at the top of the page:

• Guide: the whole document, steps and screenshots in order, with your headings, callouts, contents and intro.
• Walkthrough: one step at a time with the sections that belong to it, and previous/next.
• Click-through: the recording plays back interactively. The learner clicks the highlighted spot on each screenshot to advance, or uses the keyboard, and reaches a finish card at the end. A missed click is pointed at the right place.

Markdown

Export Markdown saves a .zip with README.md and an images/ folder. The Markdown is plain and renders anywhere: GitHub, a wiki, a static site. Notes, marks, headings and image widths survive; the marks become emoji-prefixed callouts.

The zip also contains the Skills Network lab Markdown flavour, the same text the Author Workbench push writes, for pasting into a lab by hand.
